According to the Ohio Department of Education, there are over half a million students enrolled in grades 9-12 in our state. Approximately 81 percent of these students graduate from high school and most go on to college. The number of young people aged 18 through 24 represented in the trades, industry, and the armed forces is minor compared to those continuing on to traditional higher education. An absence of exposure to all career options before graduating from high school poorly serves our students and needs to be changed.
